Chapter Fifty-Eighth: The Tiger Comes Down the Mountain
I took out the rice paper I bought and laid it under the cut and fragmented scroll. I tore off the oilcloth and silk, leaving only a layer of Mo Xuan paper. The upper part was intact, while the lower part of the silk thread was pulled out and eroded by water stains.
It's already terrible.
Take out the prepared dye and use a fine-bristled brush to apply it on the rice paper. The entire rice paper will fit perfectly with the scroll on it.
Every movement was tiny, like gently stroking a baby's delicate skin. A strange scene appeared. A faint shadow appeared on the rice paper, as if it were engraved on it.
Then, put the entire rice paper into the water next to it and rinse it repeatedly.
The color on it is getting lighter and lighter. Take it out of the water and lay it flat on the square table. This kind of rice paper is extremely water-resistant. The paper contains the fur of monsters and will automatically absorb it when it comes into contact with water.
The rice paper was drained bit by bit, and half of the picture of mountains and rivers appeared in front of everyone.
"this……"
Kuang Lao stumbled and made a fake painting in front of him. It was exactly the same. How could this be possible? Every painting of Kuang's family was carefully crafted to become a picture scroll.
Fortunately for Liu Wuxie, he used a bunch of unknown things and some strange dyes to print out an identical scroll. How could you not be surprised?
"Hiss, hiss..."
There were gasps from all directions. The scene in front of them was beyond their understanding. It was beyond common sense to deceive to this extent.
Du Mingze had the urge to slap himself. He didn't expect that he would fall into such a big trap today. Even a fool could see that the painting Xiao Mingyi bought was printed using this method and sold at a high price.
"Lei Tao, tell them how many gold coins they spent on the materials they just purchased."
Liu Wuxie wiped his hands, with a playful look on his face, glanced around, and said calmly.
"Going back to Master, it cost a total of six gold coins."
Lei Tao took out the list of materials, which clearly stated the actual price. Liu Wuxie said ten gold coins, which was reasonable.
"Six gold coins make a painting that sells for a million."
An exclamation came from the crowd. A profit of more than three times is enough to make people take risks. A profit of 160,000 times is not only a huge profit, it is almost like robbery.
Xiao Mingyi sat weakly on the ground, his body limp, as if he was in a daze, muttering to himself: "Impossible, this must be a fake, it must be a fake..."
No one comforted them, because they were also in shock and could not wake up for a while. The gap in between was enough to destroy a person's confidence.
Xue Qiu and Wan Yichun retreated continuously, not daring to look into Liu Wuxie's eyes. It was a hell today. They were fine when they went out. How could something like this happen?
"I don't know what to call this young master?"
Kuang Lao took a deep breath to calm down the shock in his heart. He realized his mistake. The painting was indeed fake. He was actually kept in the dark. He waited until he returned to his family to find out the reason and where the painting leaked from.
If we don't find out, similar things will happen again in the future, and the reputation of the madman will be at risk.
"Liu Wuxie!"
Bowing lightly, Kuai Zhan, although violent, still had clear grudges and was able to realize his mistakes, which was very rare.
"Mr. Liu, I solemnly apologize to you for what I just said. I'm sorry, I wronged you. If you have the opportunity, come to our Kuang family to exchange painting skills."
Kuang Zhan didn't want to stay longer, so he rushed back as soon as possible to investigate the matter. There must be others selling various fake paintings in the market under the name of Kuang Family.
"When I have the opportunity, I will definitely pay you a visit."
Liu Wuxie was humble and polite, which made Kuang Zhan admire him greatly. From beginning to end, he stuck to his bottom line without being overbearing. This character alone made Kuang Zhan admire him.
"Farewell!"
With the young man in white, the crowd moved aside automatically, and the two people quickly left the Qianxi Chamber of Commerce.
"Lei Tao, leave six gold coins and let's go!"
After glancing at Xiao Mingyi and others, Liu Wuxie was too lazy to argue with them and asked Lei Tao to throw down six gold coins as compensation for the fake painting before walking away.
He dropped six gold coins at Xiao Mingyi's feet, and Lei Tao followed behind him. Today was an eye-opener, and he became more and more respectful towards Liu Wuxie.
After spending one million gold coins to buy a painting worth six gold coins, Xiao Mingyi felt like he was falling from heaven to hell, with veins crawling up his face. His whole expression was hideous and terrifying: "Boy, I will make your life worse than death. I want to do it with my own hands."
Kill you."
It's a pity that Liu Wuxie couldn't hear it anymore and had already entered another corridor with Lei Tao to continue admiring it.
"Brother Xiao, it's getting late, let's go back quickly!"
A few people comforted each other, and with the help of the guards, the group of people quickly left the Qianxi Chamber of Commerce in disgrace, not daring to stay for a moment. The mocking voices from those around them made them want to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.
Looking for trouble with the Qianxi Chamber of Commerce?
Are you kidding me? Qianxi Chamber of Commerce's background is not under Danbao Pavilion, it's worse than that.
Moreover, there is freedom of buying and selling. This is a free market. No one forces you to buy. It all depends on your eyesight. If you buy fake goods, you will have to consider yourself unlucky.
After passing through several long corridors, Liu Wuxie's interest was waning and he didn't have much interest. Along the way, he used the Ghost Eye Technique to filter through the items. Some items were genuine and of little use to him.
On the contrary, there are some fake products with ridiculously high prices, which are even more eye-catching.
"Sir, this is the last corridor."
We walked through all six corridors. It was getting late, so as not to worry the pavilion master, Lei Tao said carefully behind him.
Suddenly, Liu Wuxie stopped and fixed his eyes on a picture of a tiger. The tiger came down the mountain, majestic and majestic, like a living tiger, and rushed towards Liu Wuxie.
“Great painting!”
Ordinary people can't see the doorway, it's just an ordinary picture of a tiger descending from a mountain. The ghost eye technique swept across this picture, causing his face to change slightly, and a powerful wave of energy swept through his soul sea.
"Martial arts will!"
I exclaimed in my heart, the picture that contains the martial arts will can only be painted by a martial arts master. Long-term observation can improve the martial arts talent and strengthen the soul power.
This painting is in dilapidated state, and the scroll is extremely damaged. Only the tiger is intact, hanging here, and no one cares about it.
"Whoosh!"
With a vertical shot of his body, he grabbed the picture of the tiger descending the mountain in his hand so as not to miss it. He took a look at the price and found that it was only a hundred gold coins. The price was a bit ridiculously cheap.
A scroll that contains the will of martial arts would be snatched up by people if it costs one million, but it is only sold for one hundred gold coins. It can be said that it is a huge bargain.
The name of this painting is unknown, and the signature underneath has long been damaged, making it unclear who painted it. No wonder it doesn't fetch a good price.
The deacon was called, and Lei Tao was responsible for paying. Liu Wuxie came out empty-handed, leaving even his sword in Lun Dan Pavilion.
Danbao Pavilion asked him for help, so he would not be stingy with these little things.
"Sir, is there anything strange about this painting?"
Lei Tao did not dare to underestimate Liu Wuxie and asked in a low voice.
"Don't say it!"
Roll up the picture of a tiger going down the mountain and put it in your arms, as if you have found a treasure.
He glanced around and found nothing that caught his eye. He returned along the original path. It was almost time to light the lamp. Bi Gongyu was probably a little anxious waiting.
I ate something on the way and quickly returned to Lundan Pavilion. Bi Gongyu had been waiting for a long time.
"What happened this afternoon? Why did Yun Lan come to me and have a big quarrel?"
When he first started, Bi Gongyu questioned Lei Tao. Not long ago, Yun Lan found him and wanted to see Liu Wuxie, causing his precious disciple to lose one million gold coins. He argued with Bi Gongyu, but Bi Gongyu choked him back.
Lei Tao had no choice but to tell everything that happened in the afternoon, including his encounter with Wen Song and the quarrel of words. In the end, Zuo Hong came to mediate and no major conflicts occurred.
Mentioning the Qianxi Chamber of Commerce, Lei Tao was in high spirits. Every detail, as well as the scene where Xiao Mingyi and others were slapped in the face, was vividly described. Liu Wuxie had a black line on his head, touched his nose, stood up and left, and went back to have a good rest.
, facing tomorrow’s Alchemy Conference.
One person spoke and the other listened. After talking for half an hour, Bi Gongyu took a breath of cold air. A fake painting of one million gold coins was worth six gold coins.
Go back to the house, close the door, and don't allow anyone to come and disturb you.
He took out a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain and hung it on the wall. Normally, the naked eye could not see the clues. Only when he used the Ghost Eye Technique, Liu Wuxie was overwhelmed by the power of the tiger and couldn't breathe.
The tiger suddenly opened his eyes, and his suffocating breath formed a storm. The tables and chairs in the room made a rattling sound, unable to withstand the pressure of the energy.
Stepping on the auspicious clouds, overlooking the heaven and earth, the scornful momentum swept across the sky. Liu Wuxie's body was like a small boat, rising and falling in the sky.
"I can't back down. Once I develop fear, my path to martial arts will basically be cut off."
Facing the oppression of the tiger, Liu Wuxie frantically mobilized his soul power to fight against it, and the two sides reached a stalemate.
In the golden soul sea, a strong wind blew, and it was continuously compressed. The golden soul power became stronger and stronger, and golden light spots appeared in the gray soul sea, gathering more and more.
"What a powerful tiger picture. It can not only temper my martial arts will, but also sharpen my soul."
Liu Wuxie was secretly surprised. The stronger the soul sea is, it determines how talented a person is.
Although he possesses the knowledge of the Immortal Emperor, he is no longer the body of the Immortal Emperor. Talent cannot be compensated by knowledge. The body is the foundation, and knowledge can only assist. Only when the two are strong can they complement each other.
As time passed by, his whole body was soaked with sweat. His level had not increased, but his martial arts talent had increased several times.
The golden light spots in the soul sea doubled. Faced with the roar of the tiger, Liu Wuxie gradually adapted to it.
Suddenly!
The tiger looked up to the sky and roared, shaking the mountains and rivers, as if the whole earth was shaking. Liu Wuxie stumbled and almost fell down, and his mind went blank.
An hour passed...
Two hours passed...
Three hours passed...
It was already late at night, and everyone had already rested. Low roars came from Liu Wuxie's mouth.
The tiger brooked no provocation. It was crushing him in the air with an invincible force. Liu Wuxie's body was crumbling, as if he was standing on a cliff and could fall down the cliff at any time.
At this time, the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cauldron suddenly moved, and the tiger descending the mountain mysteriously disappeared and was swallowed by the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cauldron.
"this……"
Liu Wuxie was confused, how could this happen? He also planned to use the tiger descending the mountain map to sharpen his soul power so that he could use more ghost eye skills in future battles. This chapter has been completed!
